She was the last Remiremont abbess and founded at the beginning of the Bourbon Restoration a religious community that became famous among French Catholics under the name of Bénédictines de la rue Monsieur.

As a member of the reigning House of Bourbon, she was born a princesse du sang; this entitled her to the style of Her Serene Highness.

Her mother died at the Hôtel de Condé after a long illness[2] as reported by the Duke of Luynes; at the time, Louise Adélaïde was just three years of age.

She did not, however, visit Remiremont more than three times during her period in office[4] In 1789, she fled to Belgium to escape the first stages of the French Revolution.

Six months after her death, her former suitor, the comte d'Artois, succeeded to the French throne as King Charles X.
